This Honeywell MK5145-71A38 Eclipse barcode reader is gray, includes a USB cable, and can be used to scan and decode linear one-dimensional (1D) barcodes. A laser produces a single line of light that scans barcodes at a speed of up to 72 scans per second in continuous mode. To help reduce accidental scans, a CodeGate setting allows the scan line to be visible but prevents barcode data from being transmitted until a button is pushed. The CodeSense feature automatically awakens the barcode scanner when a barcode is detected. The USB cable from the barcode reader plugs into the USB port of a computer or another host system (not included) to transmit barcode data. A configuration utility allows the firmware to be updated as needed. This barcode reader is compatible with OPOS (OLE for Retail POS) and JavaPOS standards used in point-of-sale (POS) systems. It weighs 3.5 oz. and measures 2 x 2.5 x 6.7 inches (H x W x D). (H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.) It can withstand drops of up to 5' onto concrete. A stand (not included) enables the barcode reader to be used in a fixed position.
